RE: South Dallas looks a lot like Detroit.
Not sure which place should be awarded the worst cesspool of America, Detroit or Camden, NJ.
Someone told me that Gary, Indiana is also bad, but I’ve never been there.
Detroit still has some great suburbs to live in though.
I was headed east to Newark in a rental car and decided to get off the freeway to top off the ol’ tank before I turned the rental car in. It was the first time in my life I literally feared for my life to even get out of the car at a gas station. And I have ridden my bicycle through VERY seedy areas of Seattle.
I just drove through Gary a couple weeks ago. Yeah, it’s a pit. I’ve been to Detroit and marveled at the street people going through garbage cans on the street in front of a bunch of closed down businesses. I marveled because the only people on the street were the sparse street people. What exactly did they expect to find?
WOW! I just went into Google maps and went to street view for Camden. Yikes!
I live about 20 minutes EAST of Gary. I will send you some pictures of the downtown area so you can get a sample of liberal "fruitfulness".
